That's not how Debian 12 has it.

If Trixie has done an "sbin merge", it's news to me.
Note that pocket's system has /sbin pointing to usr/bin NOT to usr/sbin.
Bookworm looks to be one of the last of the Mohicans:
I'm not sure what you mean by that.
That, Greg, refers to a less than pleasant time in 'merican history when
the only good American indian was a dead one. The Mohicans were a
smaller tribe in the northeastern US. I am not proud of that period in
our history. But it was 100+ years before I was born. And the battle
continues in some circles yet. Read "by the fire we carry" by Rebecca
Nagle for the latest news on that. All 5 tribes moved to Oklahoma won in
SCOTUS, making 49% of Oklahoma into reservation and autonomous land, but
at last check, the Oki guvner refuses to honor it.

All of these systems have sbin pointing to usr/sbin (the same as
bookworm), NOT to usr/bin the way pocket's system does.
pocket's system is the outlier here. It's the only one where there
isn't a separate usr/sbin.
